And finally, Herchel Barry's last dunk:

Barry sets up on the baseline. He tosses the ball at the side of the backboard, somehow gets the ball to come off cleanly, grabs the rebound with one hand, and in one motion, throws down a monster slam.

And the judges give this one a 37... 124 for the round....not enough to advance and our final is set.

It's Roach vs. Ketikidis!

AND NOW THE FINALS.....

For his first finals dunk, Markos Ketikidis is having Mitch Holloway help him again. Holloway throws the ball from behind the backboard. As Ketikidis rises up, he grabs the rebound, and flies under the backboard and somehow gets the incredible jam to go down.

And the judges are duly impressed: It's a 50!

Now for Roach's first attempt:

Roach asks Intxausti for the assist on this dunk. Intxausti throws the ball down just under the hoop, as Roach runs down the lane and jumps to the rim. Roach snags the ball on the bounce with two hands, then cranks back for an impressive windmill slam. Wow!

And the judges say...another 50! We are tied!

Ketikidis is back up off the bench.

Markos dribbles on the left baseline, leaps up, palming the ball with one hand. He nearly hits his head on the rim, but ducks under just as he crushes this one-handed beauty of a slam dunk.

The judges agree, it is a thing of beauty: another 50 pointer!

Can Roach match it?

Roach tosses the ball high in the air, leaps, grabs the ball on the way to the rim, hangs in mid-air as he passes the ball through his legs, then throws down the incredible slam dunk.

Watch it here: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj4W8tGu4bg)

And the judges say....a 46! They must have seen something they didn't like.

Final dunks now....

Ketikidis is going to need plenty of room for this one. He back up to the opposite baseline, takes a few dribbles, then races toward the hoop. As he reaches the free throw line, he takes off, extending the ball with one hand while letting his legs trail behind him. Finally, after hanging in the air for an eternity, Markos jams the ball through the hoop. Amazing!

Watch: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMyFYzq-8bM)

The judges take off some style points....scoring a 45 for a total of 145 and leaving the door open for Roach.

Roach is going to the way-back machine for this final attempt. He pulls on the familiar #21 of former EC High Flyers great, Liang Minghao, much to the delight of the crowd. Roach takes a few dribbles, then takes off toward the hoop. He goes up, and cocks back an incredible windmill slam. What a tribute to Liang!

But the judges don't agree! They score it a 38!

And Ketikidis wins!
